Warrior Hops (Pellets)

Warrior hops are a high alpha varietal with an incredibly smooth bittering agent. Though not typically used for their aromatic qualities, Warrior hops can add mild notes or resin, citurs and herbs to your IPA or Pale Ale recipe.

Very high alpha acids, excellent alpha acid stability, and smooth bitterness make this a great bittering hops for almost any style of beer. The storage properties mean that you can trust this to provide good bitterness even a year after packing. I have started using this in place of magnum, which was my go-to bittering hop, because it is a little less expensive; they are very similar hops.

I developed my IPA recipe using Warrior for bittering. Although I am a West Coast guy I find many of the bittering hops used just lay on the tongue and get in the way of the flavor additions. Warrior has firm, dissipating bitterness that allows late addition flavors to have their moment.
